Sit 12 original exam-style questions at real exam pace
These are 12 original questions taken from our Laser Hair Reduction bank, spread across 5 of the 7 domains of the published blueprint. You get 72 seconds per question, which is exactly the pace of the real LHR6102 exam (14 minutes for 12). At the end you will see which domains you are weakest in, and the full worked reasoning for every question.

A short diagnostic cannot predict whether you will pass - only the real exam does that. It will show you, honestly, where you currently stand.
What the real Laser Hair Reduction licensing exam looks like
Candidates for a Laser Hair Reduction licence in the UAE sit a computer-based multiple-choice examination - DHA exam code LHR6102, delivered through Prometric for DHA, MOHAP and SHA, and through Pearson VUE for DOH Abu Dhabi. The DHA pass mark is 60% (DHA CBT Guideline, Sep 2026); other authorities set their own, so confirm yours before booking. The result is reported to you as pass or fail only - your score is never released.
Pass marks at a glance: DHA exam codes and pass marks for all written exams in one sourced table.
The paper is built to a published blueprint, which is why a domain-by-domain diagnostic is more useful than a raw percentage. Your questions above were drawn from across Client Assessment and Contraindications, Laser Physics and Light-Tissue Interaction, Laser Safety and Regulation, Skin and Hair Biology and 1 more - the same areas the real paper weights.
Before you can book the exam at all you need Dataflow primary source verification of your degree, licence and experience, which typically runs several weeks. Candidates routinely underestimate this and end up sitting the exam sooner after study than they planned. Check where you stand with our free eligibility checker or confirm whether your title even requires an exam using the Prometric exam checker.
You get three attempts in total across all UAE authorities - not three each - under the Unified Professional Qualification Requirements. At roughly AED 660 per attempt, plus the licensing delay each failure adds to your visa and start date, the cost of going in underprepared is not really the exam fee.

A worked Laser Hair Reduction exam question
Every question in the diagnostic and in the paid bank is written to this standard: a clinical stem, four plausible options and the reasoning for the answer, with its source.
Client Assessment and Contraindications
A client says her skin rarely burns and tans easily, and she has light brown skin. Which Fitzpatrick skin type is she?
- AType II
- BType III
- CType IVCorrect
- DType VI
Why: Fitzpatrick type IV skin burns minimally and tans easily, typically light to moderate brown. Type II usually burns and tans minimally, and type VI never burns and is deeply pigmented.

Laser Hair Reduction sample questions with answers
4 more original exam-style Laser Hair Reduction questions, worked in full. They are not real or recalled exam questions, and none of them is in the diagnostic above, so sit that first if you have not.
Question 1 · Client Assessment and Contraindications
While preparing the lower leg, the technician notices an irregular, multicoloured mole that the client says has recently changed. What should be done?
- ATreat over it at a low fluence
- BAvoid it and refer for medical assessment
- CShave it flat and continue
- DCover it with white pencil and treat
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Avoid it and refer for medical assessment
A changing irregular pigmented lesion needs medical assessment to exclude melanoma, and lasers should never be fired over it because they can alter its appearance and delay diagnosis. Simply covering it does not address the need for referral.
Reference: Goldberg DJ. Laser and Light, Procedures in Cosmetic Dermatology, 4th ed.
Question 2 · Client Assessment and Contraindications
A 24-year-old woman requests treatment for coarse dark hair on the chin and abdomen that appeared over the last year, with irregular periods and acne. What is the most appropriate action?
- ARecommend medical assessment for an underlying hormonal cause
- BProceed with treatment without further questions
- CAdvise waxing instead of laser
- DTell her laser cannot treat hormonal hair
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Recommend medical assessment for an underlying hormonal cause
New-onset hirsutism with menstrual irregularity and acne suggests hyperandrogenism such as polycystic ovary syndrome, and rapid onset can rarely indicate an androgen-secreting tumour, so medical assessment is needed. Laser can still be used alongside medical treatment.
Reference: Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline: Hirsutism in Premenopausal Women 2018
Question 3 · Complications and Their Management
Three weeks after treatment, a Fitzpatrick type V client has brown patches matching the laser spots. What is the most appropriate management?
- ARepeat treatment over the patches immediately
- BStrict sun protection and medical review
- CIncrease the fluence at the next session
- DApply a bleaching agent at high strength without review
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Strict sun protection and medical review
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation usually fades over months with strict sun protection, and the supervising doctor may add topical treatment; further laser treatment is delayed. Higher fluence would worsen pigmentation in darker skin.
Reference: Lim SP, Lanigan SW. Lasers Med Sci 2006 (adverse effects of laser hair removal)
Question 4 · Infection Control, Consent and Ethics
What should be done with the laser handpiece and cooling tip between clients?
- AWipe it only when it looks visibly soiled
- BRinse it under running tap water only
- CDisinfect per the manufacturer's instructions
- DClean it once at the end of each day
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Disinfect per the manufacturer's instructions
Handpieces and contact tips touch skin and must be cleaned and disinfected between every client using agents approved by the manufacturer. Cleaning only when visibly soiled or once a day risks cross-infection.
Reference: CDC Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities 2008
How to use this diagnostic properly
- 1Sit it cold, once. Do not look anything up. A diagnostic you help yourself through tells you nothing. The number you get is only useful if it is honest.
- 2Read every rationale - especially the ones you got right. Getting a question right by elimination is not the same as knowing it. The worked reasoning is free above, whether or not you buy anything.
- 3Work weakest domain first. The breakdown orders your domains worst-first for exactly this reason. Studying what you are already good at feels productive and moves nothing.
- 4Re-sit under full exam conditions later. The real paper is far longer than this and stamina matters. Full-length timed papers are what the paid bank is for.
